Paul Wyse

Osgoode, Ontario artist Paul Wyse’s commissions include a custom Steinway piano, on which he recreated the original paintings by Viktor Hartmann that inspired Mussorgsky’s piano suite Pictures At An Exhibition. Wyse himself is a world-class pianist, and has performed in august venues such as Avery Fischer Hall, home of the New York Philharmonic, and Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. His eclectic list of portrait subjects includes Prime Minister Paul Martin and House Speaker Peter Milliken, any many others including author Toni Morrison and pop star Billy Joel.
